A legislative study committee decided Wednesday not to recommend the General Assembly legalize cameras to catch speeding motorists in highway construction zones.

But that doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the 2020 session.

Lawmakers tried and failed a few years ago to allow cameras in highway construction zones that would catch drivers exceeding the speed limit. There seemed to bemomentumbuilding this summer for a study committee recommendation to pass such a bill. But the panel opted against it.
